Vehicle model
Landwind Gamme Landwind - électrique/hybride
Landwind did not develop a significant electric or hybrid lineup before ceasing operations around 2020. Unlike many Chinese brands that invested heavily in electrification during the 2010s, Landwind remained focused on gasoline- or diesel-powered SUVs and off-roaders. No iconic electric or hybrid model is lastingly associated with the brand on international markets. This absence of electrification is among the factors that contributed to Landwind's decline against more innovative Chinese competitors. For a tire and wheel buyer, there are therefore no electric-specific considerations unique to Landwind: the considerations remain those of the brand's combustion-engine SUVs (wheels of roughly 16 to 18 inches). In Quebec, dedicated winter tires remain strongly advised.

Les VUS et tout-terrains Landwind, du segment du X7 (compact) au X8 (plus gros), utilisent généralement des pneus de VUS en diamètres de jante courants d'environ 16 à 18 pouces, parfois 15 pouces sur les modèles d'entrée. Les entraxes (bolt patterns) suivent typiquement des standards asiatiques fréquents sur ce type de véhicules. Faute de distribution nord-américaine, il faut valider les dimensions exactes sur l'étiquette de portière ou la fiche du véhicule avant d'acheter. Au Québec, ces véhicules profiteraient pleinement de pneus d'hiver dédiés, idéalement montés sur un second jeu de jantes pour faciliter les changements saisonniers et préserver les jantes d'origine du sel et de l'abrasion hivernale.
